Transportation from Nice Airport to Aix-en-Provence

We are flying into Nice on Sunday, September 28, 2014. We are going directly to Aix-en-Provence from there. We are not renting a car at this point of the trip. Is the bus the best mode of transportation? Thanks!

No viable buses to Aix - trains are the only way - take an airport shuttle or taxi to Nice-Ville station and take a TGV to Aix - go to www.voyages-sncf.com or www.capitainetrain.com - advance booking to a specific train at a specific hour - if you are late for it nada refunds and you have to buy a full-fare ticket - ouch!

But build a lot of fudge factor time in for planes to be late, etc and you can save a lot by booking (in stone I think) weeks in advance.

If the sketchy bus schedule fits your times then it would seem to be the best bet - since it leaves right from the airport - better than schlepping into Nice to catch a train and the bus overall then would be quicker - just that it only runs a few times a day it seems.
